Re: Snow handling

The stock Alenza tires are awful in snowy winter. For already two winters I put Bridgestone 285/45-22 tires and they do there job perfectly at any temperature and weather.
I'll do pics in 1 or 2 days & write the actual name of these tires...

I have REAL 4wd in my hybrid that's probably why the 22inch alenzas are perfect in the snow?

Re: Snow handling

You can go with the stock 22's, but they do not turn or stop good at all, it was all I could do to get up my driveway with the stock 22's, took 4 tries, pulled the truck on my lift and put my Blizzak's on, then it was like drive on wet roads, what a difference

Even "REAL 4wd" is no better than all wheel drive with the locking rear like the Escalade's come with

like the video post said, at 25 mph? if it has lockers I didn't see a rotary knob or switch that would engage the rear and or front unless it happens automatically when you downshift to 1st from a start.

Re: Snow handling

Yup, i have those on our Escalade and they work very well over stock. THe only other tire that I have had that was above and beyond Blizzaks were Nokia Hakkapelitas that were studded.... but they were on 16" rims on a different vehicle.. if they made 22's I would have went to Nokians.
